Close-up of Murray\u003cbr/\u003eCalifornia prosecutors played a recording of Michael Jackson''''s voice just weeks before his death at the start of the trial of the doctor accused of killing him.\u003cbr/\u003eSlow and slurred, the late pop star''''s words echoed through a Los Angeles courtroom on Tuesday as a worldwide audience watched on television and Jackson''''s family looked on from inside the courtroom.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We have to be phenomenal. When people leave this show, when people leave my show, I want them to say, ''''I''''ve never seen nothing like this in my life. Go. Go. I''''ve never seen nothing like this. Go. It''''s amazing. He''''s the greatest entertainer in the world,''''\" a drugged Jackson could be heard saying on the recording.\u003cbr/\u003eProsecutors played the audio for the first time during opening statements as they portrayed Dr. Conrad Murray as an incompetent physician who used a dangerous anaesthetic without adequate safeguards and whose neglect left the superstar abandoned as he lay dying.\u003cbr/\u003eDefence lawyers countered that Jackson caused his own death by taking a drug dose, including propofol, after Murray left the room. \u003cbr/\u003eNothing the cardiologist could have done would have saved the King of Pop, defence lawyer Edward Chernoff told jurors, because Jackson was desperate to regain his fame and needed rest to prepare for a series of crucial comeback concerts.\u003cbr/\u003eMurray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter. If convicted, he could face up to four years in prison and the loss of his medical licence.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking for more than an hour, Walgren relied on photos and audio recordings to paint Murray as an inept and reckless caretaker.\u003cbr/\u003eHe showed a photo of Michael Jackson''''s pale and lifeless body lying on a gurney, and juxtaposed it with those of Jackson performing. \u003cbr/\u003eWalgren also played the recording of Jackson speaking to Murray while, the prosecutor said, the singer was under the influence of an unknown substance roughly six weeks before his death.\u003cbr/\u003eJackson trusted Murray as his physician, and \"that misplaced trust in Conrad Murray cost Michael Jackson his life,\" Walgren said. \u003cbr/\u003eThe recurring theme was Jackson''''s never-ending quest for sleep and propofol, the potion he called his \"milk\" and that he believed was the answer. \u003cbr/\u003eJurors were told that it was a powerful anaesthetic, not a sleep aid, and the prosecutor said Murray severely misused it.\u003cbr/\u003eThe prosecutor said that, while working for Jackson, the doctor was shipped more than four gallons of the anaesthetic, which is normally given in hospital settings.\u003cbr/\u003eChernoff, the defence lawyer, claimed the singer swallowed several pills of the sedative lorazepam on the morning of his death and that was enough to put six people to sleep. \u003cbr/\u003eAfter taking propofol, Jackson did not even have a chance to close his eyes, Chernoff said.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We believe the evidence will show you, the scientific evidence, will show you that when Dr Murray left the room Michael Jackson self-administered a dose of propofol that with the lorazapam created a perfect storm in his body, that killed him instantly,\" he told the court.\u003cbr/\u003eFollowing opening statements, Jackson''''s choreographer and friend Kenny Ortega testified that Jackson was in bad shape physically and mentally less than a week before his death.\u003cbr/\u003eOrtega said he sent a message to Randy Phillips, producer of the \"This Is It\" concert, telling him that Jackson was ill, probably should have a psychological evaluation and was not ready to perform.\u003cbr/\u003eIn response to the email, Ortega said, a meeting was called at Jackson''''s house where Ortega clashed with Murray, who told him to stop playing amateur psychiatrist and doctor.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to Ortega, Murray said Jackson was physically and emotionally capable of handling all his responsibilities for the show.\u003cbr/\u003eWithin a few days, Ortega said, Jackson appeared to be\"full of energy, full of desire to work, full of enthusiasm\". \u003cbr/\u003ePaul Gongaware, the co-CEO of AG Concert West, the company producing and promoting the \"This is it\" tour, also testified on Tuesday.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
